"Invaluable tool for your WordPress plugin business"

What do you like best about Freemius?

Freemius takes away a lot of hassle that you don't want to be dealing with as a programmer, and it allows me to focus on what I like to do best: programming. They handle taxes, plugin distribution/deployment, licensing, sales and so much more. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Freemius?

Nothing really comes to mind. Whenever there is a problem the support team is really helpful and quick to respond. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"An all in one subscriptions platform for WP developers"
5/5
What do you like best about Freemius?

It's a one-stop shop that's tailor-made for our needs and the team is dedicated to our success. The onboarding of email opt-in is one of the most appealing aspects of Freemius to me. With a database of more than 60,000 subscribers, we've seen an immediate boost in conversions. Now that we have this huge email list available to us, we may develop a fantastic onboarding campaign to gradually increase sales. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Freemius?

There is not much to dislike about freemius. Actually, we are satisfied with every aspect of the platform. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes there are small issues, but when they happen Freemius support is quick and professional. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Huge timesaver, full featured service"
5/5
What do you like best about Freemius?

Freemius makes it easy to monetize your code. You don't have to build a new licensing service or use less reliable ones out there. Freemius makes it easy as pie to add licensing and payment features to your products; all the analytics and other marketing capabilities it comes with are cherries on top of the cake. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Freemius?

The site design could be better. The product is excellent, but even in the soon-to-come freemius.com dashboard, I find the design a bit lacking.

I think the whole freemius.com website could use a redesign to improve the UI while also keeping in mind the UX features I'm sure are already taken into consideration in the current design. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Incredible SaaS"
5/5
What do you like best about Freemius?

If it weren't for Freemius, I would be wasting my time on tasks that I have don't have the resources to properly deal with.

Using Freemius makes me feel like I have a dedicated development team that deals with the deployment side of my products. I feel like everything is under control and my team and I can focus on what we do best. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Freemius?

I don't have any more free time because so many people are buying my products so I have to provide support.

If you aren't ready to give up your development hobby and make your software products your full-time business, then this isn't for you. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"My experience as a developer using Freemius"
3.5/5
What do you like best about Freemius?

Freemius is incredibly easy to use and integrate into your application and offers excellent insights into how customers purchase and use your plugin. It is a much easier experience than deploying and setting up WooCommerce Software or Easy Digital Downloads. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Freemius?

Freemius pricing model takes between 17-25% on your first $5,000 in sales. This is a sizeable percentage of each sale initially after launching your plugin, while it does drop to 5% following your first $5,000 in sales, much more in line with payment processing type fees, but from that initial $5,000, they take around $1,200. They also hold your sales from paying you out until 60 days after the sale was made. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Makes my life easier than I could imagine"
5/5
What do you like best about Freemius?

Everything about it. It makes my life easier to do business as a solopreneur more than I could imagine - from the neat dashboard that allows configuration via GUI to their easy SDK integration, 1-click management of pricing, users, licenses, and much more.

Also, besides an intuitive and modern checkout system, they also totally take care of the taxes, invoicing, and more, plus transactional emails, user accounts, etc.

It's everything that one could hope for when choosing an e-commerce and licensing partner for their WordPress business. It gives me freedom to not have to worry about licensing and e-commerce at all and focus on developing my product and serving the customers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Freemius?

Their integration SDK size. Though, there are technical reasons for it being that large and is justifiable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
